Dry particles of sodium chloride, in the size range of 0.5 to 20 ? in diameter, were introduced from an aircraft into moist air at altitudes of 400?500 m over the sea near the island of Hawaii. Discharge rates from each ...

In the summer of 1965, a series of tropical cumulus cloud experiments was carried out by Project Stormfury, a joint program of the U. S. Navy and Environmental Science Services Administration. Of twelve clouds seeded with ...

As in-cloud measurements have accumulated it has become increasingly apparent that clouds are markedly non-uniform in structure. This is demonstrated by sizable and rapid variations in the horizontal for almost all ...

Data from two dense rain gage networks in Illinois and Oklahoma were used to evaluate the feasibility of improving radar estimates of storm mean rainfall through the use of surface rain gage data to modify the radar-rainfall ...

On passing through an atmospheric layer that contains random isotropic turbulent eddies, one would expect that a rising balloon would follow an erratic path. Recently, an FPS-16 missile-tracking radar has been used to ...

Where significant, the relationship between mean temperatures of successive months in the United States, based on 60?80 years of data, was found to be generally of a persistent nature. Maximum persistence occurs in mid-nation ...

Both hurricanes and typhoons are relatively circular storms with their winds at high levels blowing mostly outward. Assuming that the outflow is characterized by central motion under the influence of the pressure-gradient ...

Data of vertically pointing microrain radars (MRRs), located at various sites around the Baltic Sea, were analyzed for a period of several years. From the Doppler spectra profiles of drop size distributions (DSDs) are ...

Modeling the increase in the central pressure of tropical cyclones following landfall plays a critical role in the estimation of the hurricane wind hazard at locations removed from the coastline. This paper describes the ...
